Question
True False
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be transformed or destroyed, only created.
During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
In an ecosystem, energy flows from the primary consumers to producers.
The process of cellular respiration in animals transforms chemical energy into ATP.
Consumers are the primary organisms in an ecosystem to capture light energy from the sun.
As energy moves through the food chain it is destroyed.

Let's evaluate each statement:
1. **The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be transformed or destroyed, only created.**
**False** - The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
2. **During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose.**
**True** - This statement is correct; during photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in glucose.
3. **In an ecosystem, energy flows from the primary consumers to producers.**
**False** - Energy flows from producers to primary consumers, not the other way around. Producers (like plants) convert sunlight into energy, which is then consumed by primary consumers (herbivores).
4. **The process of cellular respiration in animals transforms chemical energy into ATP.**
**True** - Cellular respiration converts the chemical energy in glucose into ATP, which is usable energy for the cells.
5. **Consumers are the primary organisms in an ecosystem to capture light energy from the sun.**
**False** - Producers (like plants) are the primary organisms that capture light energy from the sun, not consumers.
6. **As energy moves through the food chain it is destroyed.**
**False** - Energy is not destroyed; it is transformed. It typically decreases with each trophic level due to energy loss as heat and metabolic processes.
So the corresponding answers would be:
1. False
2. True
3. False
4. True
5. False
6. False
